      And elect Trump. Cool. Nice principles. Hope they keep you warm in the camps while you watch your family dragged away and killed. Or maybe it will be your neighbors and not your problem bc you’re not a target demographic. Yet. Thanks for your service hero. You’re affecting change with all your logic and practical action.

                    Tell me what percentage of the country was able to cast a vote by march 12th, because it’s not the majority. Most of us will never get a say before the primaries are over.

          Yeah, that’s the attitude that got him elected and see how that turned out for everyone.

          It’s not like doing that is going to inject much meaningful change. It’s not a strategy to address the problem you want to fix.

          I didn’t do that. I vote DSA. I primary’d Pelosi. I’m accepting the current situation and trying to make change where there’s no risk of elimination of any possible future change (allowing fascism in the oval office).

          So how does electing Trump, whoever of us do it, make things better? What’s your proposal? Besides not voting for Biden, what are you doing?

      It takes a truly privileged position to ignore that Repubs will make life worse for women, minorities, LGBT people, oh, and the entire planet because of climate. “Joseph Bidden isn’t helping the climate,” yeah I agree, the alternative is dismantling the EPA and ramping up emissions even further.

          I don’t think that’s an acceptable argument in favor of making them worse. Women were better off before this Roe v. Wade bullshit. You have the privilege to not give a shit, so you’ll do whatever you want with your ballot, I guess.

              So let’s let Trump put in another supreme court justice or two. He already got three, which is why Roe was overturned. I don’t understand how you think Democrats were complicit OR had any means of opposing it. It’s the supreme court.

                  Nah. Lefties are smart enough to understand who placed which judge on SCOTUS. Lefties understand the mathematics behind FPTP voting. And lefties care about the erosion of human rights from having Repubs in office. You have none of those qualities.

                    These so called “far lefties” have a hard time answering if u bring up that the Zapatistas, for example (the Spanish anarchists, u know, actual far lefties), list as second on their list of tenets (paraphrased) making conditions more tolerable under the current system while it lasts.

                    Typically far left parties still participate in electoral politics; its easier to accomplish leftist goals when the proles still have breathing room underneath the authoritarian boot.

                    Lefties dont have fptp voting. Lefties have strong human rights records and a commanding lead over conservative parties in their countries because of it.

                    Progressive EU countries are lefties. Democrat led US is not.

      There has never been a wider gap between the Democrats and the Republicans than there is right now.

          Perfect example. Trump says he wants to deport people that were born in the US (which obviously isn’t legal). Call in the military, shoot people attempting to cross the border. Texas is putting barbed wire on the border, the the Federal government (that’s Biden) is opposing it. They want the border completely shut down and people of certain ethnicity banned.

          The Dems want additional judges to process asylum applications faster. Which is good for everyone. There are some bad things in the bill, but Biden doesn’t have to enforce them and the courts will likely overturn them like they did with Trump’s Muslim ban. Getting the additional judges and staff needed to deal with the backlog of asylum claims is super important and will lessen the hardship on immigrants seeking asylum.

          So explain to me how trying to get asylum claims processed faster is exactly the same thing as Trump’s Muslim ban? Or building a wall? Or shooting people?

            Its a federal border. That barbed wire is his barbed wire. This is his presidency, this is how he is running the border.

            There are some bad things in the bill, but Biden doesn’t have to enforce them and the courts will likely overturn them like they did with Trump’s Muslim ban.

            You do realize i have absolutely zero trust in Biden and this hinges on blind faith in Biden. Or at least youre arguing it does, i dont think Biden has any ability to control the bad things like fewer asylum approvals. Democrats, including Biden, have been using the same rhetoric as republicans, actively appealing to conservatives, assuring them they want a “stronger border”

              You haven’t been following the news. The Texas Governor put the barbed wire there. The Supreme Court upheld that he was able to do so(because of course they did). Biden is trying to remove it.
